Disney has released new room details for the upcoming Disney Vacation Club Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. This newest DVC tower expands availability at one of the most popular Walt Disney World resorts and boasts views of Magic Kingdom.

The first look at the rooms at the new Polynesian DVC Tower gives us an idea of the theming (including one of the most popular Disney animated films!) and the variety of room types offered. Anyone can book a stay at a DVC tower, not just Disney Vacation Club members. This new tower also includes a NEW luxury room type!

DVC Tower Poly

The new Island Tower coming to Polynesian Villas & Bungalows will have a beautiful waterfront view of Magic Kingdom with design elements inspired by the South Pacific islands. The 10-story tower’s architecture was inspired by early concept art of the Polynesian Resort from Walt Disney Imagineering.

The Polynesian Island Tower is projected to open December 17th 2024 which is just in time for the holiday season at Walt Disney World and just a close monorail ride away from the International Festival of the Holidays.
